Unmute Yourself - Chapter 9
💫✨Unmute Yourself is my podcast about breaking through fear, finding your voice, and sharing your magic with the world. It’s for those who have spent too long holding back—whether from self-doubt, past conditioning, or the fear of being truly seen.
💫✨Through candid conversations with inspiring creators, we explore the courage it takes to express oneself fully, to be authentic, and the power of showing up—even when it’s scary.
✨💫 It’s not just about speaking—it’s about stepping into your truth, embracing your unique brilliance, and finally sharing your magic.🪄
💃OOoh do I have a juicy conversation for you today! I was as as giddy as a giddy kipper to speak to Allysha Lavino this week. I adore everything she writes and I’m loving tapping into her “magic, mystery&mayhem” as a paid subscriber.
And I’m truly inspired by writers and creators who, despite having a large email list, choose to build their Substack audience organically from scratch. That’s exactly what Allysha has done and she is clearly winning at it!
Why? because she is MAGICKS! And Allysha wants us all to remember our bloomin’ magic.
If you’ve ever felt the pull of something bigger - like a whisper from the past urging you to step into your power - this episode is for you.
What does it mean to remember our magic?
In this episode, the beauteous visionary author and hereditary seer Allysha Lavino takes us on a journey into the unseen realms - where science meets mystery and where ancient wisdom reconnects us to the magic we’ve always known.
Allysha shares how her work bridges rigorous research with spiritual exploration, offering grounded, repeatable practices that deepen our connection to the invisible world. From her decade-long mentorship with Henry Lincoln, co-author of Holy Blood, Holy Grail (which was the inspiration behind the Da Vinci Code), to her work in helping others connect to their own magic, Allysha invites us to rediscover the profound intelligence woven through our reality.
I could listen to her aaall day!
We explore:
💫🪄The physics of the invisible and how magic is simply what exists beyond our current scientific tools.
💫🪄How breathwork (like the Hawaiian ‘Ha’ breath) can unlock deeper interconnection.
💫🪄Embodiment and why many of us struggle to fully inhabit our bodies.
💫🪄Dissociation, trauma, and the process of calling our soul home.
💫🪄The role of intuition, talking to trees, and remembering the language of the natural world.
Quotable Moments
On Magic & the Invisible:
“When I talk about magic, I am actually talking about the physics of the invisible world…We’re having a conversation about love happening in the brain waves—something beyond what we are able measure.”
(00:01:28)
• On the Breath of Life:
“The first practice I teach is a simple breathing technique—I call it the ha. It’s about breathing in through the nose, down into the belly, and exhaling with that resonant ‘ah’ sound.”
(00:08:43 – 00:09:13)
• On the Seat of the Soul:
“In a lot of indigenous traditions, they say that the belly is the seat of the soul.”
(00:15:35 – 00:15:40)
• On Surrender:
“What if you’re not failing to surrender? What if you are already surrendered and just don’t like how it feels?”
(00:27:35 – 00:27:55)
• On Being a Heretic:
“Heretic is an ancient Greek word—it means one who is able to choose.”
(00:46:42 – 00:46:47)
Key Takeaways
• Magic as the Invisible Physics:
Allysha redefines magic as the part of our reality that lies beyond what science can measure—where love, intuition, and the unseen interconnections of life reside.
• Embodiment & Connection:
Our bodies are not just physical vessels but intricate conduits of energy. Simple practices like the “ha” breathing technique (inhale through the nose, let the belly expand, and exhale with an “ah”) help you feel and connect with the universe around you.
• Healing Through Reconnection:
Trauma and modern distractions often cause us to become disassociated. Reclaiming our energy starts with reconnecting to the body—acknowledging that the belly is the seat of the soul and inviting your “team” of inner guardians to help bring you back home.
• The Journey of Surrender:
Surrender is not about failure—it’s about embracing our current state, even when it feels uncomfortable. Recognizing that sometimes being “stuck” is part of the process of integration that can open us up to receiving and healing.
• Embodying Abundance:
By realigning our relationship with money—recognizing it as a loving, energetic force—spiritual people can thrive financially, supporting not just themselves but the communities and causes they care about.
• Becoming a Heretic:
Allysha explains that being a “heretic” means choosing our own path and reclaiming our voice. Every small step in shifting our thought patterns creates a “super highway” for embodying our true magic.
